1944 Map of Small Point

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The rocky coastline of Phippsburg and Harpswell is defined by a jagged network of islands and peninsulas as they appeared in 1941. This maritime landscape centers on Small Point Harbor and the narrow straits of Casco Bay, where the surveying work of B.P. Taylor and J.A. Mattingly captures a community deeply tied to the Atlantic. Notable elevations like Morse Mtn rise above the surrounding marshes and tidal pools, while the coastline is peppered with distinctive navigational landmarks such as Bold Dick, White Bull, and the Cedar Ledges. The transition from the mainland to the islands is marked by Bailey Island and the neighboring Ragged I, illustrating the scattered nature of settlement along this stretch of the Maine coast. Detailed surveying of Atkins Bay and Jaquish Cut reveals the intricate waterways used by local mariners before modern development altered the shoreline.
